LIBRA PERSONALITY PROFILE Libra is an air sign, the seventh sign of the zodiac and ruled by Venus. Its astrological symbol is the scales of justice (balance and justice) and is the only sign not represented by a person/animal but an inanimate object. Key phrase: “I balance (weigh)” is Libra. Librans are generally regarded by astrologers (and others) as the most desirable zodiac sign. Well mannered, charming and always good looking - even beautiful, (Venus) they exude elegance and grace. There’s no way that others won’t immediately notice their style in the way they entertain guests, the type of home furnishings they like to buy, the clothes they wear and even their personal grooming. People will see them as having exquisite taste and a natural flair and they always make a great first impression. Good-natured, kind and loving they have many friends and are a good judge of character. Although they are extremely intelligent, their much-heralded intellect is sometimes wasted on conjuring up a hundred ways to say "On the other hand” as they flee from decision-making as fast as they shy away from vulgar or offensive behavior. They are also incredibly naive and gullible which is sometimes taken advantage of emotionally. Superb communicators and great networkers, they connect with people easily. Because they enjoy the art of conversation and are attentive listeners, this combined with their easygoing and sociable natures makes them very popular. Whilst they do not like to be criticized or have their decisions and actions questioned, their basic nature is diplomatic and peace loving. Similarly, they can get quite huffy if given orders but as the sign of cosmic reciprocity, they would rather cooperate than compete and will compromise, (even when in the right) in order to avoid an argument. Any form of disharmony makes them totally insecure and they will do whatever it takes to maintain equilibrium. The famous indecisiveness of Librans means of course that they either sit on the fence or switch views from one to another and thus are not the most reliable of signs.
This can sometimes be misconstrued as being two faced but they find it impossible to commit to one side of an argument as they simply don’t want to be seen as biased. They want everyone to like them and the way to get everyone’s approval (as they see it) is by agreeing with everyone. This backfires of course and will mess up their dealings with people because the very act of agreeing does not mean they’re firmly committed to something, but rather to keep everyone on side. They have strong opinions that they will change in the face of disapproval and few people can understand that they underlying reason is that a Libran’s single aim in life is to be right all the time. They will continuously change their mind in order to ensure that fact and before long family and friends learn that they rarely stick to their agreements or voiced opinions and will tend to ignore them. Once they have really made up their minds however it is a different story and then they aren't very willing to see the other side of a situation. Librans are not always all beauty, kindness and charm. Libra is also a very selfcentered sign which always insists on its own way and will use all kinds of devious ploys in the meantime to get there. They are capable of pursuing a goal with a single-minded determination that borders on obsession (what Libra wants, Libra gets). Most Librans are terrified of being alone although this fear is usually so well controlled they manage to remain looking cool, calm and collected and at ease but a typical Libras cannot imagine life without a relationship. Sadly they crave for the peace and happiness of home but it is usually a disaster and they tend to disturb their own equilibrium by the weight of the emotional or physical attachments to others. They will work hard to strike a harmonious balance between the two personalities but they need to try and seek out people who will love them for who they are, not for who they try to be or for what kind of performance they can put on. Some Librans are dedicated social climbers but without the selfawareness. Their two Achilles heels are Indecisiveness and Insecurity.
Their insecurity can either emanate from a desire to please others or low self esteem and if they are both (all Librans want to make others comfortable) then they are classic “people pleasers” who are only happy when others are happy. Getting a Libran to the altar is no easy feat and they are often more in love with the idea of love than with their actual partner and fidelity is not their strong point. Venus the planet of love is their ruler and finding their soul mate is a significant life mission and very few Librans will find the harmony and contentment they are searching for until they connect with that special person. A string of unsatisfactory relationships can result, filled with jealousy, clinginess and even contempt. Worse, the fear of abandonment or not wishing to disappoint can lead to Librans remaining in less than desirable relationships for years where they can turn into shallow irrepressible flirts in order to remain sane. When (and if) they do find that soul mate, they blossom and can embrace every aspect of their lives with drive and energy. The opposite can cause depression, back pain and even severe headaches but generally most Librans keep mentally healthy and physically fit and avoid any serious breakdowns. Their biggest threat is over indulgence. In careers, Libras are liable to be involved with any aspect of the law, politics, or diplomacy. They also enjoy the arts. Because of their ability to talk out of both sides of their mouths at once along with their fairness and communication skills, make them excellent politicians Libra has a bit of a lazy streak and are reluctant to get their hands too dirty which can slow down progress on their projects, but they are a great promoter of ideas and build wide networks. Libran bosses take note of everyone’s opinion before making decisions and are always reasonable in the way they deal with people and their employees and coworkers can depend on a balanced viewpoint. As mentioned earlier the pursuit of love is never ending for Libra and they will initially get along and potentially be attracted to any of the astrological signs. Their desire to please and continuing kindness will mollify any hurts if they have a tiff and this will keep things on even keel early in the relationship.
Whilst Libra is the most prepared to tolerate their loved one’s failings, in time unless they are truly compatible, one or the other will leave (most likely the other) due to Libras terror of being alone. The best matches are Libra, Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo and Taurus with the best long-term love match another Libra, although Taurus is a particularly good sign (especially for Libra women) as well. Aquarius is also a good match as you both love people and beauty, although they’re a touch more unpredictable. The most difficult match for a Libra is probably Aries (though these two signs are often attracted to each other) and Scorpio. Libra Libran’s sole mission is relating and the Libra-Libra romance is a breeze. It's like looking into a mirror and loving what you see. They are an intellectual equal, shared manners and style and they will remain mutually dazzled by the conversation. Elegant dinners, rooftop soirees, film festivals… Gemini An excellent match for Libra as both signs have a lot in common and brings out the better part of each other's nature. When these two flirty types come together, there's an easy rapport since they're genuinely curious about other people. Both have a light approach, which makes the relationship feel fresh. They'll enjoy sharing ideas about everything, taking in cultural events and perhaps collaborating. Libra loves to entertain, and Gemini is a people person, too. This near-perfect match may only hit a snag if things never deepen beyond superficial affection. It takes awhile for Gemini to settle down with a one and only, which Libra finds a natural state. Libra may think Gemini not serious enough, especially when it comes to "working on the relationship." Sagittarius This relationship kicks of with both being enthralled as they tease and flirt and talk non stop. Before long they know everything there is to know about each other and as the relationship progresses, Libra anticipates Sag will slow down and settle into the relationship but that’s won’t happen which will make Libra nervous and unsure of where they stand.
Tactless (but truthful) Sag says things that sound unkind to conflict wary Libra but if Sag can reassure Libra of their devotion this will go far in keeping this relationship afloat. Virgo Libra loves socializing and talking for hours on end without judgment, in direct contrast to Virgo who doesn’t like socializing too much and is highly critical of the flawed opinions of others. Virgo’s tendency to find fault in almost everything will drive Libra nuts. There are challenges here, but also the potential to enjoy domestic harmony and a clean, high-minded lifestyle - the picture of refinement. Even if they are somewhat cool in their show of affection, they enjoy a great rapport and are never lost for words. Taurus Both ruled by Venus there’s a strong physical attraction which makes them ignore contradictory personality traits. Not a bad match, if both agrees to compromise a little and with understanding it could be a harmonic relationship. They like to share the finer things in life and a meeting of the mind and body making this a very good marital combination. When it's good, it's about living well but when things go wrong, this relationship could hit a dead end. Wealthy couples under this zodiac sign combination will have pure unadulterated bliss however poorer couples will be very unhappy.
